Enzo Maresca believes Chelsea's recent decline in form is due in part to transfer rumors impacting player focus. Since their victory against Brentford in mid-December, Chelsea's performance has plummeted, winning only one out of their last seven Premier League matches, falling to sixth place. Despite this, they remain close to the top four. Maresca noted the team's struggle, particularly after losing defender Wes Fofana, suggesting that these factors contributed to their current challenges. Meanwhile, Graham Potter returns to Chelsea as a rival manager after his stint with the club ended in April 2023.
100% [it affects them]. 100% for me. But not only us, all the teams, because in the end, [the players] are human beings.
Even if they say, 'No, I'm professional, I'm focused on this,' if they are talking about you and different clubs, then the focus is not 100%.
